Starting from the effective-theory framework for Minimal Flavour Violation,we give a systematic definition of next-to-minimal (quark) flavour violation interms of a set of spurion fields exhibiting a particular hierarchy with respectto a small (Wolfenstein-like) parameter. A few illustrative examples and theirconsequences for charged and neutral decays with different quark chiralitiesare worked out in some detail. Our framework can be used as a model-independentclassification scheme for the parameterization of flavour structure fromphysics beyond the Standard Model.Comment: 17 pages, no figures, phenomenological discussion extended, references adde
